Chhang Song,

Cambodian History and Society

AbstractIn a clearing, only some ten miles from the Thai border, not too far from Prince Norodom Sihanouk's Phum Sereipheap villa, I lounge on a bamboo chair, watching the sun setting behind two mountains. Its orange-reddish light makes the entire landscape of rice paddies, palm trees, and small bushes look like children's paintings.
